Join us for our Sip & Ride! We will be riding on a vintage Routemaster to take us on a scenic journey through central London, complete with a little celebratory fizz. Along the way, we’ll stop for some iconic photos with our brilliant photographer. There’ll be a few group shots, and if we sneak off for some intimate newlywed moments, you can relax, sip, and enjoy the ride. The journey will end at our reception venue, where the celebrations will continue.
3:30 pm - 6:00 pm
If, like us, you’ve ever wondered why it’s called a wedding breakfast, it comes from the tradition of breaking a fast after the ceremony, as the first meal shared as a married couple. Ours will be held at Kettner’s in Soho, where we’re keeping things relaxed with a feasting-style dining experience, flowing drinks and a few heartfelt speeches. The menu features French classics inspired by the original Kettner’s restaurant, which first opened its doors in 1867. It’s a perfect fit for us, as we got engaged in Paris and wanted to bring a little of that magic to the day. Example Menu found below: Starters White asparagus, girolles, pine nuts (pb plant based) Ham de Bayonne, bleu D’Auvergene St Jacques, Pique Mains Ratatouille (pb) Salmon, samphire, beurre blanc Aged Porterhouse, bordelaise Please let Alexandra know if you have any dietary restrictions.

Black-Tie: Wear floor-length gowns or formal cocktail dresses, tuxes with black neckties or bowties.
Please wear Black only! (White shirts for the Men). Our wedding reception will be held at Kettner’s in the heart of Soho, a historic Georgian townhouse with original Grade II-listed features and a Champagne Bar that will be exclusively ours for the evening. As one of London’s oldest French restaurants, it felt like the perfect choice, especially as we got engaged in Paris. It has that traditional, timeless feel we were looking for – the kind of place where we can all dress up a bit, have a drink and celebrate in style.
